Give me Sarr (Oderzo, Italy; 18 years) will no longer play in Barcelona. This has been clarified by the club, upset with the attitude of the player, which at the beginning of April decided to leave for Portland (United States) to play the Nike Hoops Summit, an exhibition event for young talents that serves as a catapult to access the University League (NCAA) or even the NBA. And it was a before and after the escort in the club, which soon decided that he would not dress the Barca shirt again, since he preferred a friendly rather than defending the entity, also in the Euroleague. “It will not be part of the squad for the remainder of the season. The club and the player have reached a mutual agreement so that he can focus on his sports future, with his eyes on making the jump to the NBA,” the statement said.
From Barcelona they knew that the Italian thought about playing the next year in the NCAA -because it will charge more money and has easier access to the NBA -a transfer for which they would not see any money, a problem that is leaving the Spanish and European quarries of their talent. But that he left to Nike Hoops Summit was something difficult to digest for Barça, and that, in passing, they had served to see Sarr’s best version about parquet. “Leave it for a few months and you will see how good I do,” Kevin Punter joked in the costumes, because he welcomed him as his pupil and there were not few times that stayed after the workouts making movements and shots, also one against one. And from the club, pleased, they saw the progression of Italian, signed three courses for the subsidiary and already a player of the first team since this season. But the roads have separated.
Barcelona does not speak of contract termination, so Sarr remains under contract with Barça until June 30, date on which its relationship with the club ends. It is presumed, however, that the player could already go to the United States to prepare his landing in North American in exchange for a preferential option on the player if he in the future decides to return to Europe. It is known, after the 17 points of the escort in the exhibition duel and its recent effervescence such as Barca, that there is the interest of several universities, such as Illinois, Kentucky, Miami, Byu and Oregon.
